Interesting. I thought it might be that but then as backport users are
usually left out in the cold as far as security updates are concerned, I
thought it couldn't be.

I'm just curious if this is the first time that a kernel _version_ bump took place within the trajectory of a single Debian version? Or have kernel _version_ changes always taken place at debian release boundaries before?
